By letters brought by the Con¬ queror, dated 13th December, from the Mediterranean, we learn that Admiral Pellew, after rcconoi- tring arkl enticing ouL the enemy's lieet from Toulon, on tile 1 ith De¬ cember, (Britilb. j 2 fail, French i 6 fail of die line,) returned to JYlahon-liarbc;r, aS the enemy />//£- vedtheir own ihorc fo clofcly, and it being Very fine weatherj it was impoffible to briiigthcni to action. Two fail of the line in the Medit¬ erranean arc coming home. The Pcarlen had dafhed into Toulon prior to the 1 ith, but on coming out, Ihe was encountered by a French 74, and could get out only by cutting away the rigging of the Frenchman. January 25.—Two Heligoland mails arrived at a late hour this morning. The reports of war be¬ tween KuiVi.t.Uid France arc reviv- ed with additional confidence. " By late accounts from other parts of the eoafi we nave been in- fcirmedi that a war between Riiflia (in conjunction with Prufha) and France is 'more coniideiitially look- rd t'ciY thari ever, and that hoftili- ties may be certainly expected to Commence by the beginning of next month; The brave Pruikan General Blucher is, it is laid, to have a command in the Ruffian army. w T«e hofpitals in Hamburgh nre ftated to be crowded with lick of the French army, coniiftinaj of troops Who have been marched thithet- from .Spain, and who are dying from 16 to 30 every day, in ccmfequeftcc of difeafes brought on by cxccilivc cxcrtioiis, fatigues,- and famine.

Capture of a French Frigate, janaary 30.—There is no doubt (though the official accounts are not yet received) that another action, honorable to our naval arms, has been fought in the Ad* riatic* Whether there were more than the Englilh Active, of 38, and the French Pomone,-of 44 guns engaged, is not known ; but it feems certain that the latter has been taken by the former, after a furious fight* Captain Gordon has loft a leg, but is doing welh Since writing the above, we fin- derftand that the Marquis of Huntley had a letter yefterday, via France from Captain Maxwell, of the Alcefta, dated Lifla, December 9," that the Pomone had been taken from the enemy, and that Captain Gordon of the Active frigate, after the lofs of his leg, was doing well." January 31.—Our readers will recollect that about two months ago, the Auftrian government iflued an order that French troops fhould be allowed to pafs through the Auftrian territories, and that provifions and other necellaries ihoitld be afforded them. It is now iaid, that the French have affem- bled a powerful force on the Eat- tcrn confines of Hungary, and that in the event of hoftilities with Ruilia, France in connection with an Auftrian army, will come on the rear of the Ruffian army on the Danube, which has been ligh¬ ting the Turks. This army, it is thought, Bonaparte will attempt to feizc, and thus make Ruilia fub- fcribe to iuch terms as he may choofe to dictate to her.
